Prep Time 7 minutes
Additional Time 3 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 to 4 slices bologna either thick-cut or standard thickness

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F. Once adequately heated, position the bologna slices inside the fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding any overlap to ensure even cooking. Cook at 375°F for a total of 6 to 9 minutes, flipping each slice after 4 minutes. Depending on the cut's thickness and desired crispness, you may extend the cooking time slightly. After air frying, transfer the bologna to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining grease. Serve immediately as a sandwich filler or a hearty breakfast protein.

Notes

Avoid using very thinly sliced bologna, as lightweight pieces may be displaced by circulating air, leading to uneven results. This recipe is designed for sliced bologna, not for ring-style varieties.
